How to Fix Scaling for Blurry Apps in Windows 10

With recent builds of Windows 10 which represent the Redstone 4 branch, Microsoft has implemented new options to fix apps that become blurry on your high resolution displays. Even if some app appears properly scaled right after you open it, it can become blurry when you dock/undock, use RDP, or change display settings.

Starting with build 17063, you can enable a new feature that will automatically fix these apps.

Also, the new feature only improves blurry desktop apps while they're on the main display. Let's see how to enable this fix.

There are three ways to enable the new scaling workaround for such apps.
